I navigated Portsmouth by car this summer funding my way to the Rhyde ferry, and that was very stressful. I showed my wife your pix, she hadn&#39;t realized that Portsmouth was based on islands and noted that explains why it&#39;s so tight to drive around.<br />Cheers, Peter Peter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-24484296813295131602018-08-25T11:08:01.282+01:002018-08-25T11:08:01.282+01:00A well deserved award for an astounding game.
